Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: stmmac: fix altr_tse_pcs function when using a fixed-link
When using a fixed-link, the altr_tse_pcs driver crashes
due to null-pointer dereference as no phy_device is provided to
tse_pcs_fix_mac_speed function. Fix this by adding a check for
phy_dev before calling the tse_pcs_fix_mac_speed() function.
Also clean up the tse_pcs_fix_mac_speed function a bit. There is
no need to check for splitter_base and sgmii_adapter_base
because the driver will fail if these 2 variables are not
derived from the device tree.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.8 < 5.4.190)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.112)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.35)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 5.17.4)
• linux linux kernel 5.18
